GREAT NEWS!!!! KCC to start work on Leeds-Langley
feasibility on B2163 Leeds & Langley Relief Road.

A Relief Road has an estimated cost of at least £55m at
today's prices, and this would be more like £75m in cash terms, allowing for
inflation.

Kent County Council is under severe financial pressure but
has found £200,000 to conduct the road monitoring exercise for the
Leeds-Langley relief road feasibility.

Any future funding Business Case for the road will need to
consider the strategic, economic, financial, commercial and management case for
a scheme. It will need to consider all options including doing nothing and
other transport alternatives, and to consider sustainability issues and the
human rights aspects of those who would be affected by a proposed scheme.
